The Bear star Ayo Edebiri had the most hilarious interaction with Matthew Macfadyen backstage at the 2024 Emmys when she revealed to the Succession star that she was grounded as a child for having a screensaver of him as Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice on her computer.
Edebiri spilled:
"Yeah, so I got grounded, because my dad was like, 'Who's this man?!'"
'"Who's this guy in the coat? With the beautiful hair?'"
Macfadyen later shared their conversation with Entertainment Tonight, explaining:
"She [told me she] was grounded, because she had a screensaver of me as Mr. Darcy on her laptop."
He added:
"Good parenting."
"I haven't heard that [before]."

You can watch below.
The Pride & Prejudice film in which Macfadyen starred was released in 2005, when Edebiri was just a wee 8-year-old.
Needless to say, viewers of this clip were in hysterics over the Big Mouth star's confession.






But the masses could totally relate.






So, to recap the evening's events...
Edebiri had her moment with her Mr. Darcy and walked away with a Best Supporting Actress Emmy.

Yes, chef!
